-This command will return the ARN of the certificate created. Now use [get-certificate](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/acm-pca/get-certificate.html) to fetch the intermediate certificate:
+To run it, fill in the ARN of your CA and run:
 
 ```bash
-aws acm-pca get-certificate \

-    --certificate-arn "[CERTIFICATE_ARN]" \
-    --output text > intermediate.crt
+python issue_certificate.py < intermediate.csr > intermediate.crt
